Kris' scalp/hair has been more and more irritated as time goes on. We discussed cutting her hair off in the near future, sometime fairly soon after Chemo Friday.

Chemo. Appointment is 1045 and will take about 6 hours, so we got breakfast at the Original Pancake House then headed out to the clinic. Kris' I & R is 2.4 which is perfect so we're leaving her Warfarin dosage alone. Met an interesting soul at the clinic during infusion who likes Irish folk, as well as other more eclectic music, as much as we do. One point of note is that the nurse 'pushed' one of the anti-nausea drugs rather than administering it by drip. Ironically this has the effect of making Kris quite nauseous as it was too rapid a delivery. Other than this, things went quite a bit better this time than last time.

Kris decided that we'd do the buzz today. This time we handled it ourselves. Took us a bit to get our clippers to work the way we wanted, and we decided to go so far as to shave but, in the end everything looks great! Yes, that's right, I have no problems at all with bald women. :)

Towards the afternoon, Kris began feeling a bit run down. This is early but in keeping with normal Chemo reactions.

Kris is still run down and starting to feel achy. Enough that she waited long enough to take the Darvocet she has for pain. Other than this her spirit is up and she even worked a bit today. Note: I am very appreciative of her work support structure for helping her through times like these. I can't go into detail but her manager, among others, have done a lot to help Kris work through this with minimal stress and I wanted to say thank you to those co-workers for doing so.
